But before you decide to replace your existing pool cover, first find out if it really needs to be replaced. Here are the signs to look out for if you think your current pool cover needs replacement -- and why replacement is always better compared to patching up the pool cover by yourself.

1. Over time a pool cover depreciates its quality due to a variety of factors. These include:

Chemicals that are used to clean the pool (like chlorine and anti-algae chemicals). Their harshness can corrode the pool cover in the long run.

Changes in temperature. If there are major changes in the temperature, especially over the course of time, it may cause the swimming pool cover to degrade.

Check your pool cover for any signs of tears, cracks, or peeling brought by any of the factors above as these are the usual signs that it may need immediate replacement.

2. The materials used in the pool cover can affect its useful life. Check your pool cover's surface -- it must be smooth and elastic, not rigid and brittle. You may use the pool cover if it's stiff, but don't expect a longer lifespan in that condition. A stiff pool cover tends to break more easily, and you may not have much time for a replacement before it gives in altogether.

3. Weather condition
A pool cover is prone to damage mostly during the winter season, so your pool cover should be durable enough to protect it. If the pool cover isn’t able to withstand the effects of winter weather in your area, you will want to replace your old pool cover as soon as the warmer weather returns to ensure it keeps you, your family, and your pets safe.
